Award-Winning, Stylish, Genre-Blending Rock Band; Known for "Somebody Told Me," "When You Were Young" & "Mr. Brightside"
The Killers Biography
The Killers are an award-winning highly successful, genre-bending rock band known for their anthemic sound and blend of indie rock, new wave, and heartland rock influences. They've achieved both commercial success and critical acclaim.
The Killers were formed in Las Vegas in 2001 by Brandon Flowers (lead vocals, keyboards, bass) and Dave Keuning (lead guitar, backing vocals). After the band went through a number of short-term bassists and drummers, Mark Stoermer (bass, rhythm guitar, backing vocals) and Ronnie Vannucci Jr. (drums, percussion) joined in 2002.
The Killers have released seven studio albums, each of which topped the UK Albums Chart: "Hot Fuss" (2004), "Sam's Town" (2006), "Day & Age" (2008), "Battle Born" (2012), "Wonderful Wonderful" (2017), "Imploding the Mirage" (2020), and "Pressure Machine" (2021). They have also released a B-sides and rarities compilation, "Sawdust" (2007); a live album, "Live from the Royal Albert Hall" (2009); two greatest-hits albums, "Direct Hits" (2013) and "Rebel Diamonds" (2023); and a Christmas compilation, "Don’t Waste Your Wishes" (2016).
Since 2016 and 2017, respectively, Stoermer and Keuning have had extended hiatuses from the band. Stoermer mostly retired from touring, citing exhaustion and lingering effects from a pyrotechnics accident, while Keuning released a solo album. Despite his hiatus from touring, Stoermer participated in recording sessions for "Wonderful Wonderful" and "Imploding the Mirage," and it was announced that Keuning was participating in recording "Pressure Machine," which was released in 2021. Ted Sablay, who had served as a touring keyboardist and rhythm guitarist for the band since 2006, assumed lead guitar duties for live shows in Keuning’s absence, while touring rhythm guitarist and keyboardist Jake Blanton assumed the role of bassist in live shows. With Sablay moving to lead guitar, the band hired Taylor Milne and Robbie Connolly to play rhythm guitar and keyboards, respectively, live.
The Killers are considered one of the biggest rock bands of the 21st century, selling more than 28 million records worldwide, including 10.8 million in the United States. They have performed in more than 50 countries and on six continents, headlining venues such as Madison Square Garden, Wembley Stadium, Glastonbury Festival (2007 and 2019), and Electric Picnic in Ireland in 2023.
In 2023, the band released its second greatest-hits compilation, "Rebel Diamonds," which included three songs from the aborted eighth studio album: "Boy," "Your Side of Town" and "Spirit." The band also previewed a fourth new song, "We Did It in the Name of Love," which remained otherwise unreleased.
In 2024, the original four-piece of Flowers, Keuning, Stoermer, and Vannucci Jr. reunited for a 15-night concert residency celebrating the 20th anniversary of "Hot Fuss." The reunited lineup performed the album in full each night and recorded a new song, "Bright Lights," to coincide with the residency. The track was the first to feature all four core members since 2017.
